Feature Friday!

The Itsy Bitsy Spider Flikr group continues to grow... I'm starting to wonder if this might have been a bad idea because I'm seeing all these wonderful creations that I want to add to my to-do list! Just check out some of this past week's additions....

This ultra-comfy-looking arm chair was added by AmiEggs. She says it was inspired by the game Pet Society. Sheesh... if pets get furniture this cute, I might have to look this game up! In the mean time, you can order a copy of AmiEggs's pattern from her Etsy Shop and get started on one of these adorable little chairs today!

Hannah Kaminsky's Birds of a Feather pattern has been in my Ravelry queue for some time, but now that I see Aluajala's multi-colored versions, I think I'm going to have to move this pattern a little closer to the top!

When I think of cute, the first thing that comes to mind is usually not bugs and certainly not bugs that deal in doo-doo, but Hattalahutta's Dung Roller Beetle has everything going for it -- from a sweet little smile to an enormous... well, dung "pillow." You can get the pattern on Ravelry for $5.00 and while you're there, check out some of Hattalahutta's other cute bug patterns!

I'm already looking forward to seeing what makes its way into the Flikr group next week. Thanks to everyone who participated - I hope you'll spread the word and celebrate with this special blog badge!

What is amigurumi?

Amigurumi(編み包み) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically cute animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc.), but can include inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. Amigurumi can be either knitted or crocheted. In recent years crocheted amigurumi are more popular and more commonly seen.
